Casarano is located in south-western Salento, in the province of Lecce and has a historic center full of Baroque churches and palaces, such as the mother church, the Palazzo D'Aquino, and a crypt of the Crucifix with Byzantine frescoes and a column dedicated to the patron saint Saint John the Almoner.

Collepasso Castle

Highlight • Castle

Among the most fascinating aspects of Puglia there are undoubtedly the large palaces, castles and farms, symbols of a past of nobles and slaves. Among these, the Baronial Palace of Collepasso stands out, of still uncertain origins but whose artistic and historical value is very evident. Built with typical Lecce stone, the clean square shapes date back to the Norman-Swabian domination, while the square in front is very reminiscent of the Spanish "plaza de armas".
